Our practice offers an in-depth expertise in all aspects of new build designs and refurbishments. This ranges from overall design and construction to the more specific requirements of client representation, project management, dealing with local authorities, costing, planning, building works, site follow up, and inspections.
HAY’s portfolio includes a number of completed residential and commercial projects of varying budgets and sizes. We have completed projects throughout the United Kingdom (UK) for existing and new clients.
Each project is unique and requires its own site specific solutions, however every scheme regardless of size follows a similar process. We pride ourselves on a careful, pragmatic and reliable service of time and budget.
All our projects benefit from our dedication to our clients; offering a complete service during the design and build process, supported by regular inspections, client updates and project progress revisions to help ensure a successful completion on time and on budget.
